The Indian pharmaceutical manufacturing industry is in a new strategic phase driven by continuously increased global demand, highly complex compliance standards and the need to have a cost effective, yet high performance infrastructure. Pharma turnkey contractors and project consultants have become precious partners in this atmosphere bringing in package solutions that span from conceptual design and regulatory planning to building, validation, and final commissioning.

With India emerging as a major exporter of generics and speciality formulations to the world, all the pharmaceutical firms are facing pressure to adhere to the global standards and maintain strict schedules with limited expenditures. The technical requirements of establishing new plants start with clean room design and extend into automation, data integration and validation, requires sophisticated technical skill. This is where turnkey partners step in, bringing a multi-disciplinary approach that simplifies execution while ensuring quality and compliance at every stage.

The increased number of new-build facilities and redeveloping existing plant projects supported by schemes including Production Linked Incentive (PLI) for bulk drugs and APIs is fueling the demand of skilled consultants who are able to convert vision into reality with precision. Meanwhile, the emergence of biosimilars, high-potency APIs, and regulations linked to sustainability have added an additional degree of technical and operational complexity that cannot be effectively managed without the aid of specialized turnkey teams.
